Need a Miracle
Donation protected
Hi, I am Hovik Minasyan, 34-years old, husband to a beautiful wife Tantri and a father of two girls - Sophia is two years old and Olivia is only one month old. As a Surgical First Assistant, I have helped Southern CA surgeons, make miracles happen. Now, I need a miracle.
I've always been healthy and fit, but had been experiencing headaches for the past year. My primary care doctor referred to a neuro ophthalmologist. My right optic nerve was inflamed and, after a lumbar puncture, I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH). This condition is more commonly known as Pseudotumor Cerebri.
My world has been turned 180 degrees in the past three months. Treatment with Diomax resulted tingling in hands, face, and feet and memory loss. Surgery was my only hope to fix the problem and, on January 6th, it was me being rolled into the operating room for surgery! I suffered a seizure the day after discharge. Tantri found me on the floor and I was back in for a second surgery four days later. Since then, I've been in-and-out of the emergency room multiple times, continuing to pursue recovery from these agonizing headaches and malfunctioning shunts. Still, my prognosis is good and I look forward to getting back soon to the right side of the operating table!
Since I have been ill, I have been unable to access State Disability Insurance. Neither am I eligible for financial assistance through Masonic Outreach Services. Me and my family are grateful for the relief Magnolia Park 618 has been providing, however, we have to cast a wider net in order to maintain our home while I recover.
Please help, as much as you can.
Fraternally,
Br. Hovik Minasyan
